Never was able to shoot it. Tested with snap caps and found it didnt reliably feed. While figuring that out, the end of the firing pin broke. Looks nice but thats it.....its been sent back to buds to figure out

I won the chance to buy this for $49.00 I'm glad I did very nice fit and finish. Only problem is that I had trouble racking 3" 00 buck shells into the chamber. They wouldn't go from the mag to the chamber. Chambered fine singly but not when racking into the chamber. Switched to 2 3/4" shells and the gun and mechanism worked fine. I'll try another brand of 3 inchers but I'm just as happy to use 2 3/4 ". Nice looking gun and otherwise works fine.

Hi Buds staff (re: Ian P.) I know you've been very busy with holiday orders...So now can any of you comment on Ian's previous post a couple weeks ago (partially copied below) about if this model Emperor Guardian shotgun accessories interchangable from other models?

...appears to be identical in construction and design to the ASI PASI1 shotgun... I'm assuming it's made by the same people.. My understanding is that these shotguns are built off of Benelli pattern shotguns and will accept extended magazine tubes from the Nova, which I will look into in the future. The breacher choke is also easily removable, but I'm not sure if it will accept benelli choke.

I got my. Shotgun and I am very happy with it
The pistol grip fits well in my hand and the stocks fits in my shoulder very well also
The action is smooth all around a solid weapon.

Another satisfactory purchase from Buds. The gun arrived within the defined time, item is as described. I would have given a 5 star rating to this shotgun, but unfortunately it doesn't satisfy my reason to purchase it. I was looking for a shotgun that I can use for deer hunting. I took the gun to the range and after a box of sluggers I couldn't see the point of impact at 50 yards, even though I moved the rear sight all the way up. I moved the target to 25 yards and after 2 more shots I realized the slugs were hitting at least a foot low. Since the rear sight can't go any higher, I'm assuming this gun isn't accessorized for slugs, but probably for magnum turkey loads, and other home defense loads. I will try to replace the front sight, which is very high, with a lower sight to see if I can move the point of impact to the bullseye. Other than that, it's an awesome gun for the money.
